Great location. Staff was very friendly; very concerned for our comfort. The room was exactly as it was pictured and described on their website. Super clean, comfortable couch and chair. The two 65 inch TV's had Excellent colors and sound. Kitchen had everything that you would need. The bathroom and the entire room had the best lighting I have ever seen. The bed was extremely comfortable; sheets were super soft. There is plenty of storage, specially for an extended stay. Could see busy road with a lot of traffic but I would not have known it was there as you could not hear any noise. As for the bathroom, it had plenty of counter space for me and my husband; the water pressure was great, the tub is deep and the floor of the tub is very non-slippery. The only negative thing I can see is there is not a handle bar to get in and out of the tub if you are a Senior. Love this "HomeAwhile" hotel. You can't go wrong staying here.

We stayed for 9 nights in a King Suite and it was nice to have the separation between the sitting area/kitchenette and the bedroom. The bed was comfortable and it was great to have a desk for a work area in the bedroom as well as a TV. The building has only been open for a couple of months so everything was clean and well maintained. Having the laundry facility was handy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again..

The hotel was very very clean, it's new so it should be. Check in was a little different, you need to down load the OpenKey app so you can get in your room. The tub was very deep, which is greet for bath lovers. There was a HUGE TV in the sleeping area and a HUGE (65-70 IN) in the sitting area. I don't drink coffee but I noticed there was not a coffee marker in the room, no blow dryer and no iron/ironing board. The bed was a little on the firm side and the pillows were comfy. I would definitely stay there again.

Check in was a nightmare. Key machine did not work and it took over an hour to get in to a room where the key only worked once. After finally getting in I was assigned a different room as we couldn’t get the key to work.
